1. NEVER HATE

Hate is too much of a burden to carry. Imagine you’re happy at a party, dancing and all jolly, suddenly your rival comes in and you have to change your mood. Never hate, it’s too much of a burden to carry.

2. DON’T WORRY

Don’t worry about what happened yesterday, it has passed and a lesson is learnt. Don’t worry about tomorrow, it’s still 24 hours away, so live today, in the present moment.

3. LIVE SIMPLY

Don’t complicate life, take each day as it comes. Life is not rocket science, hence it doesn’t come with a manual, so don’t complicate it.

4. EXPECT LITTLE

When coming to people, be it family or friends, do not set expectations too high. You should constantly leave room for disappointment.

5. GIVE A LOT

Have an open heart. Every chance you get, give someone something. Do so without expecting anything in return. Give because it will all return ten-fold.

6. ALWAYS SMILE

Always wear a smile, even though you might wrinkle, you will look good. A smile is the best makeup anyone can wear, a smile changes your aura, it even makes your haters wonder how you’re doing it.

7. ALWAYS CONNECT TO A HIGHER POWER

Pray to God, ask for guidance from your ancestors. Some fights or obstacles need us connected to a higher being because they are not physical fights but spiritual. Always have a connection with God.
